Sorry to hear about your delay, if you're anything like me you just want to get moving off on your hols!

Like you say, at least you live only an hour away so you're in the comfort of your own home. We always stay overnight (life as far down south as you can get!) and it's not fun rattling around the airport for a delay.

We had more than a 4 hour delay last year and, not having a mobile with us, still got up early to get to the airport. There was a message regarding this on my computer on my return!!! The waiting around was not very nice and we were so tired when we arrived. We had been awake for over 30 hours! Still, as mentioned previously, I would rather the wait than have anything wrong with the plane.

They will try to make up te time, but if other factors are stopping this (headwinds, late passengers etc etc) they will try and find a replacement aircraft to bring the schedule back on track.

Just checked VA website and the VS15 for today is showing a 14.50 departure time so it looks like they might be bringing in a plane from somewhere to help out as there are 3 LGW- MCO flights today now.
